Intricately Designed - Book Covers

Talented American Artist Tim Baker describes himself as a Sculptor and a Special Effects Artist. Amongst the things he produces we have chosen to illustrate his books (this refers to the first 4 shown below, he has 2 more yet to produce). We understand that he created some these wonderfully detailed covers to house his new graphic novels. This is a labour intensive project, that can take between 40 and 150 hours to complete. These are some of the materials he uses: leather, brass, stainless steel, aluminium, river pearls, rivets, hand made paper and parchment and many more. Once in the article you can enlarge the image by pressing it (not the first one).
